  • Patent number: 11397195
    Abstract: The present invention provides a core for an electric current detector in which a plurality of gaps can be formed while the paring of core pieces is maintained, and a method for manufacturing the same. A core for an electric current detector 10 according to the present invention includes: a pair of core pieces 20 and 23 that are obtained by cutting an annular core main body 12 in a radial direction at two positions and are arranged such that cross-sectional surfaces 21 and 24 are opposed to each other with a first gap 26 and a second gap 28 being interposed therebetween; and a first partial molding 30 and a second partial molding 40 that are made of resin and cover portions of the peripheral surfaces of the cross-sectional surfaces of the core pieces opposed to each other with the first gap and the second gap being interposed therebetween. The first partial molding includes a bridge portion 33 that serves as a connection portion and spans the gap.

  • Patent number: 10802055
    Abstract: The present invention provides a core member, a gapped core, and a current sensor in which the gap width of a core main body that is entirely or partially covered by a resin mold portion can be set as appropriate, and insulation between the core main body and a bus bar opening can be achieved. A core member 10 according to the present invention is a core member that includes a gap forming region C in which a gap 21 is formed.

  • Patent number: 8653703
    Abstract: The permanent magnet rotating electric machine comprising a stator with a stator coil wound on a stator iron core, a rotor with a plurality of permanent magnets disposed in the circumferential direction in a rotor iron core, which is disposed opposite to the stator iron core of the stator with a predetermined spacing therebetween and is fixed to a shaft, a water-cooling unit disposed around the outer circumference of the stator iron core, and a fan fixed to the shaft on the same side as at least one axial end of the rotor iron core to circulate cooling air in the permanent magnet rotating electric machine; further comprising ventilation paths, through which the cooling air flows, formed around the outer circumference of the water-cooling unit; wherein after the cooling air has been circulated by the fan in the machine for cooling, the cooling air is led to the ventilation paths to perform heat exchange between the cooling air flowing in the ventilation paths and the water-cooling unit, after which the cool
